    Thanks for the Welcome

    Got my next test on Friday 7th so am praying I pass. It's bloomin depressing watching people ride around on their bikes and mines in the flippin garden.

    Too slow in a National speed limit was the problem. I was doing just under 50 in the pouring rain and he said I should have been going faster. I thought safety was paramount? But clearly not.

    How do I reply to everyone at once to say thanks for welcoming me etc?

    Thanks all you people anyway, I really appreciate your comments and hope to be able to ride out with you at some stage

    Cheers

    Mark - I thought by what you said about doing something that you considered dangerous it might have been the national speed limit bit. I failed on exactly the same thing!
    I was out in gale force blustery winds and driving rain to boot - and I only reached 55mph (which I considered safe for the crappy weather conditions)

    When I passed I ensured I was in the correct lane and took off like a bat out of hell.
    The examiner expects you to rapidly achieve the NSL - but watch your lane disciplines, signalling and lifesavers.

    YOU will pass THIS FRIDAY. Ride with confidence as if you were out on your own (or with a nice friendly instructor) and you will fly through!

    GOOD LUCK BUD - you will do it this time.

    When I did my Mod2 I imagined that I had my instructor talking to me thru the comms the whole way through as if he was telling me what to do... doesn't work for everyone but it worked for me.

    Good luck with your test on Friday, think positive, stick to what your instructor has told you and you will sail through.

    I do miss Marks dulcet tones and on-board jokes / remarks.
    Now I just pop my iPod on and go.
